I had wanted a tripod lamp for sometime but the cost was very prohibitive (the one I liked was$599.Really!?!). So I set out to find a suitable substitution…SKI POLES! Often I look for something that will substitute for the thing I am wanting or needing and I usually can get it for a better price to. These poles only cost me $9.95 for two sets of bamboo poles at my local thrift store and I had some table legs hanging around that I used a chunk of to attach the poles to for stability.
A drill and lighting kit later and I had my very own original tripod lamp.

This is a close up of how I notched the bamboo end to have it fit flush against the round table leg joint.
Enjoyed the project?
